I prefer just freezing the individual tracks, or at least the most CPU intensive ones. That way you still have full control over the mix and no need to create/delete folders, move tracks, mute/unmute, etc. Then just unfreeze when you're done and you can edit, adjust FX, etc. Fast and easy. You don't get the benefit of playing back just 1 track or a few stems, but it's usually the CPU that kills you, not reading the audio from disk.

Sometimes I just rendered, opened a new project at the same bpm, change the sample rate, then record the new track. Open the first project in a tab and copy/pasta. Change the sample rate back. But I like this way, saves some steps.

I had no idea that muting a track removed the cpu burden of its effects. Awesome tip.

I came naturally to this kind of workflow. I now have main projects with all busses as subprojects. I regularly print stems in the main project and use them as refrence tracks in each bus subprojects (where i record individual tracks of each group).

Brilliant simple.

Кенни, ты лучший!:)

moving folders and messing with routing isn't actually a good idea, in fact, in the mixing process it's very desirable to have those folder busses for instruments/groups, also often such stems are delivered for stem (re)mastering so it's always smart to keep those (also keep those in case of no longer having access to plugins used in project for ex.), - more elegant and versatile way is to simply mute and hide source tracks (View - Track manager), and to save time re-rendering when working with multiple musicians, it's possible to select and mute (Alt+M) those rendered/frozen items in folder tracks

@djabthrash

11 ай бұрын

- the stems you rendered/used during tracking are not the same than those you send to mastering, because the ones you send to mastering you send them once you're done mixing. At this stage the stems would sound nowhere near as they would sound during tracking. - the folders, used in the way shown in the video, allow you to quickly render stems for each instrument and have one track as a volume (just like a subgroup or a DCA) for this instrument for the tracking mix. There might be an even better way but this is very clever and efficient already imo - i agree hiding tracks i very good, but here he uses the stereo stem tracks to adjust the mix balance for tracking so he needs to see them. Also : it'as also good to see the source tracks, even if they are frozen/rendered and muted, because their waveform help you seeing where you are in the session

I'd never have thought that track mute actually bypasses cpu use for FX (as it were)..

This is great i find singing in tune with headohone on really requires low latency. This is super helpful. I wish there was a way to automate this. Tracking mode / Mixing mode.

I made a copy of a track, took it into an audio program to tweak it and raise the pitch an octave and when it came back in both that track and the original were changed. It would be great to have the option of holding down control AND another key, to make a new SEPARATE copy of the original.

That's exactly how I did it recording some guitar to already mixed drums.

I’m a Pro Tools user of 25 years. I’ve had a lot of time to wonder how DAWs without a DSP option even manage to survive. This is a good emergency workaround, but nothing more. Tracks get added in a near constant flow throughout the production process. Can you imagine re-freezing every few minutes as the need arises over and over and over etc….? Looking at the market, I’ve still never seen any DAW take advantage of the DSP capability of another DAW. Does anyone know actual $ numbers to explain why this is so? It’s hard to believe no one has ever asked this question.

What if you have the opossite problem? when you record it-s not late but actually ahead of time? how do you fix that

also, when you're "recording", you dont need all the effects active on every single track. You dont need drum verb while tracking, you dont need chorus on the guitars, ect. All that can be add later.

logic has a button that let s me deal with this fast and easy.

Hi Kenny, I have a hard one for you, if you have many presets in a plugin, how can you sort them? Even in the Forum, they can't answer that one?

So I'm very careful with creating extra buses. Sometimes you learn it the hard way. 😁
